| My unibody MacBook Pro will spontaneously restart after shutdown with Qio attached. | Mar-31-10 |

| What kind of battery can I use with the Qio? | Apr-08-10 |
| A battery should be capable of providing 12Volts @ 3 Amps and have an XLR 4-pin power connector. Nominal power usage of Qio is 9W, and attached F2s are 8 Watts each. An example of a compatible battery is the Bescor MM7XLR-NC (BC-500 charger sold separately) that can provide 12Volts @ 7.2Amps and has a 50 Watt-hour capacity. This battery could power a Qio for 5.5 hours, or a Qio plus F2 for 3 hours. |

| Why does my Maci take so long to boot when the Qio is attached?
| Jul-31-13 |
| It is normal for the Mac to take a long time to boot (as long as 10 minutes) the first time after a Qio is attached. All the new drivers need to be discovered and the kernal caches built. It is important to let this initialization process complete without interruption.
However, in some instances, the Mac takes a long time for subsequent boots as well. If this occurs, run the Qio System Uninstaller and rerun the Qio System Installer. This should clear the problem. |

| My computer kernel panics after updating OS X to 10.8.2. What can I do to fix it? (Qio/Qio CF4/Qio E3 issue) | Nov-06-12 |
| The OS X 10.8.2 update breaks compatibility with Qio, Qio CF4, and Qio E3 pro media readers, resulting in kernel panics on systems with Qio v1.1.6 and earlier software installed. By following the steps below, you may enable your system to work again, but the Qio will not operate after the procedure until you install Qio v1.1.8 or later software.
Process:
1. Cold-boot your computer holding the cmd and R keys together (this forces the computer to boot from the recovery partition)
2. Select the language
3. Open the Disk Utility application
- If your main operating system drive is locked (grayed out), select it and choose to “unlock” in the icon list at the top of the screen
- Note the name of the volume that holds your operating system - usually "Macintosh HD" – you will need this name later in these instructions
4. Quit Disk Utility
5. From the Utilities Menu, open the Terminal application.
6. Type the following commands, pressing the Enter key in between each command:
NOTE: In the following commands, <VOLNAME> is the name of the partition that your operating system resides on. This should have been obtained in step 3b. If your volume name has a space in it, such as "Macintosh HD", a “\” character must precede the space in the volume name (ie "Macintosh\ HD")
rm -r /Volumes/<VOLNAME>/System/Library/Extensions/STPCIFamily*
cp -rf /Volumes/<VOLNAME>/Library/Application\ Support/QIO/IOPCIFamily.kext /Volumes/<VOLNAME>/System/Library/Extensions
touch /Volumes/<VOLNAME>/System/Library/Extensions
7. Quit all applications and restart the computer.

| My Qio Does Not Recognize My SD-to-SxS Adapter | May-07-13 |

| I have a Retina MacBook Pro (or other Mac introduced in 2012), and my machine won't boot after installing Qio software. | Dec-06-12 |

| My Stardom RAIDSonic ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable with 6Gb drives and and a 6Gb controller. | Jul-08-13 |
| The Stardom RAIDSONIC ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable when connected at 6Gb. It was designed for 3Gb SATA. If you connected previously using a 3Gb controller, even with 6Gb drives, the connection was 3Gb. With the 6Gb controllers and 6Gb drives, the connection is negotiated at 6Gb, but the connection is not reliable because of the older design of the Stardom chassis does not support 6Gb. The drives may not be recognized or if recognized, transfers will fail at some point. |

| Can I format an SxS card in UDF format in macOS? | Jan-20-21 |
| Yes, but you must use Terminal.
1) Open Terminal
2) Run
diskutil list
to get the name of the disk. It will be something like "disk4". Ejectable media are typically the last in the list.
3) Run
newfs_udf -v "My Volume Name" disk4
if disk4 was the correct one. The volume name is anything you want of course.
4) Unplug and replug the SxS card
(Due to somebody's bug, the disk will only mount after being ejected.)
5) You can run
newfs_udf
without any parameters to see other parameters that can be set.
The process can be automated somewhat by writing a bash script, which can be looked up on the internet. |
